#eating fruit with my dad

[slfcare]

When you find something you want (even if it’s just a result of casual thinking or boredom or a harmless ‘what if’), hold onto it. When you’re doing bad it’s easy to think it’s never going to happen and let others discourage you, but in those bleak moments it’s even more important to know that feeling of wanting and looking forward to something. It doesn’t matter if it’s merely a meal or a trip, seeing the sunrise tomorrow, attending a concert or hugging a friend, let yourself want things. They’ll pull you through when you least expect it.

why have you become inactive?

Hi Anon, I hope you're doing well today.

Mostly, I haven't been around as much because real life requires more of my attention. Good stuff, though. Being more present with my family (I went to see the FNAF movie with my thirteen-year-old this week. Are any FNAF fans out here? I was slightly confused by the movie because it's not my thing but had a lot of fun going with her), eating better, cleaning my house, and trying to get organized so my chaotic monkey brain stays happy. Unfortunately, you have to stay on top of that stuff more as you age if you want to keep your sanity :).

Hopefully, once I get more of my shit together, I'll be around here more often. Love you guys and I miss hanging out!

hi grey!!!! thanks for all the flowers lovely <3

one of my oldest memories is my uncle sitting me down at his kitchen table with a small bowl of pomegranate seeds and a sheet of printer paper. he showed me how to crush the seeds to make shapes on the paper, and when i was done i had sticky, purple hands and a smile on my face.

i'm older now, and my dad peels pomegranates to keep the seeds as a snack for whoever wants them. he's skilled at it, very practiced at removing all the bad ones and making sure that the bowl is fresh at this point, but that bowl of pomegranate seeds in the fridge is one of the ways he shows us that he loves us. (and it's something i'm indulging in now. i got hungry and wanted a little sweet treat, and there's our bowl of pomegranate seeds for that very purpose!!)

sometimes pomegranate seeds are sticky fingers and sometimes it's a snack, but to me they will always mean love <3

i'm starting to think living with 5 other people may simply be a problem

[bending-sickle]

trying to self-sooth instead of sob by imagining someone being gentle with me but i can’t remember what that’s like so my brain can only send in the grubbiest triple-faxed blobs and like, it’s not cutting it

[six-of-ravens]

my greatest piece of advice to people moving out on their own is that at some point you're going to realize you can buy that one food item that you were never allowed to have while living with your parents bc it's unhealthy or expensive or in my case one of your parents is a very selective eater who will also be a huge baby about the mere Presence of an onion in the fridge and make fun of you constantly for daring to buy ~health foods~, and you gotta embrace that phase as hard as possible and if you really love that thing so much then you can make your own grocery budget that includes fkn fancy soda or parmigiano reggiano or chips or pomegranate seeds.

my dad called me to basically gently tell me to stop whining and just get out and go buy medicine on my own im crying

and then "you have glögg at home drink that im sure youll feel better"

"so you want me to have a fever and get shitfaced on my own, alone in my flat"

"sure, way funnier than just having a fever on your own right?"

thanks dad i'll think about it

Eating a banana cuz I had acid reflux pretty bad last night and bananas are supposed to help

Offered a bite to chewby cuz I used to share banana with layla and she loved it

Chewby took one sniff, made a face, and walked away

Ive never met a dog that won't eat any kind of fruit lol

[dooxliss]

oh on that post about sharing food being 'ableist' it was someone being like "What if they had allergies? Or food texture problems?" after a lady said she made her neighbors chili. it was very silly.

oh damn, i don’t have twitter so i didn’t get to see the thread in question

if someone has allergies or other restrictions you just say ‘damn my bad’ and then ask if making things with that in mind is still okay bc ik a lot of people with like. celiacs or bad food allergies or whatever take that shit super seriously bc even the tiniest bit of contamination can ruin their day

and take no for an answer! it’s okay! they probably don’t hate you!

Anyways before I forget again,

Does anyone else have meanings behind oc color pallets? Both for an individual character and when they’re part of a group??

[queerloquial]

it turns out if you get bare minimum sleep for enough nights in a row and then doomscroll tumblr disability discourse for a few hours at 5 am you unlock the shrimp color variant of anxiety
